Gale Anne Hurd’s Valhalla Motion Pictures has closed a deal for the film rights to produce the graphic novel “Gearhead” which Hurd will produce. “Gearhead” was created by Dennis Hopeless and Kevin Mellon and published by Arcana Comics.

In “Gearhead,” a young woman teams up with a group of rebels to fight the corrupt superheroes who govern the United States. She must rise to the challenge of her destiny and become “Gearhead.”

“We are excited to bring ‘Gearhead’ to life. It’s a terrific character-driven story set in a unique and compelling world,” said Hurd.

“To work with Gale on Gearhead is simply fantastic. We couldn’t have found a better partner,” Arcana Studio’s Sean O’Reilly commented.
